Source: openttd
Version: 0.7.3-1

During installation, the 'openttd.config' checks for the existance of
proprietary game data files in the directory:

  /usr/share/games/openttd/data

and if the files are not found will run:

  db_input high openttd/datafiles

to display:

  For its operation, OpenTTD needs the data files from the original
  Transport Tycoon Deluxe game.

  See the /usr/share/doc/openttd/README.Debian file for more details
  about the needed files and their location.p

Three are three problems with this solution:

  (a)  The test is incorrect.  It is sufficient to merely chdir to any
       directory (for example, '~/.wine/drive_c/MPS/TTWin95/') and then 
       run 'openttd', to enable the game to operate.

  (b)  The message is set to "high" priority when it is non-essential,
       and already has a reasonable default.

  (c)  The message is given repeatedly, even during a single upgrade
       session.

Ideally, the prompting should be removed completely, so that it no longer
disrupts the automatic update process.  Failing that, the message could be
sent to "low" priority with success returned always, such that it is only
shown once per upgrade session.
